You are probably right but a bit hard on our club but then again you normally are. It would not be the club's fault if a home fixture was 'lost' and whilst technically correct that the club would be due to refund ST holders I would have been suggesting that supporters ask the SPFL for a refund rather than the club. If compensation is paid to the club for the lost fixture then what you say would be ok but I can't find anywhere anything to suggest such compensation is paid. Furthermore we as a club have benefited in the past, once, from the opposite side of the argument when we ended up with a 20:18 home away season and I can't recollect the club asking the ST holders to pay an extra 19th of the price that season. This is the first time we have lost out but it only balances out the earlier season. My first thoughts were that despite this evening out a previous 20:18 season ( 2014/15 when we ended up sixth and the extra home game did not and was designed not to give us any great advantage) this time losing a home game, if the SPFL cannot take the home fixture from a team where it is irrelevant, could cause us a great disadvantage if it were us. Your first thought is the club should be shelling out cash back to the support. We obviously have different priorities when it comes to DFC. It is a strange sort of supporter that looks to 'harm' our club financially rather than think first about the effect such a decision, if it comes to pass, would have on the field. But then again you do have 'history' in this regard.
